The Loon's excellent adventure
Oh, boy! I'm leaving SAT tomorrow morning for a four-day stay in Boston, a place I've never been, as my compass points mostly west and south. Going to cop a flop with an old friend – and I mean old … haven't seen him since, I believe, 1960. He lives in a house that was built in the 1680s. And I thought we always lived in old houses. Going to see the John Singer Sargents in the Museum of Fine Arts, visit the historic sites and sights, and, it is hoped, eat some good food. Friend says the neighborhood joint is a Turkish restaurant. Hard to do in **Adrift, that one. Everyone says that Boston is one of the singular cities of America. I'm excited about it, barring the miseries of traveling in the age of our fierce War On Terror, the one that is being fought by making me throw away my lighter. I'll take pix for when I get back, maybe get in a post on the road.

Boston is wonderful. You must go to the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum (www.gardnermuseum.org). It was one of the highlights of my trip.
Have an awesome time. Boston is amazing and if you feel like walking, you have to do a tour and don't forget the North End. Happy travels!
Bring back lots of pixs and your ever-fascinating prose from Boston! It's on my list of places to visit.
